From First Call to Lasting Results

A clear, low-friction path from inquiry to enrollment — built around your dog’s actual needs, not a fixed schedule.

Seven Stages. One Consistent Standard.

Every Monarch client moves through the same carefully structured sequence — tailored in content, consistent in quality.

01

Free Phone Consultation

Discuss your goals, your dog’s behavior, and determine the best next step with a no-obligation phone consultation.

02

In-Person Evaluation

When needed, we’ll assess your dog’s behavior in person to better understand their unique challenges.

03

Training Recommendation

Receive a customized training recommendation based on your dog’s needs, lifestyle, and desired outcomes.

04

Agreement and Payment

Review the program details, complete the agreement, and secure your training schedule.

05

Scheduling and Program Delivery

We’ll confirm your training dates and begin the program according to the selected service.

06

Owner Coaching and Transfer

Learn how to confidently maintain your dog’s progress through hands-on coaching and practical guidance.

07

Program-Specific Follow-Up

Ongoing success depends on continued practice, household consistency, the dog, the environment, and the owner’s follow-through.

How long does the whole process take?

Timing depends on the program recommended for your dog. Private programs progress according to the training plan and the client’s scheduling availability, while Board & Train is a four-week residential program. Monarch will explain the expected timeline before enrollment.

What if my dog isn't accepted after evaluation?

Peter will tell you clearly if the evaluation suggests a different path is more appropriate — whether that’s a different program, a behavior consultant, or a veterinary specialist. The evaluation fee still applies, and you’ll leave with honest, actionable information.

Can I see progress during training?

Progress updates are a standard part of the Monarch process. You won’t wonder how your dog is doing between sessions. Communication varies by program. Board & Train clients receive two structured progress updates each week, with additional communication when a material health, safety, behavior, scheduling, or program concern occurs. Private-program communication takes place through scheduled lessons and program-specific support.

What happens if results fade after the program?

Training must be maintained after the program. Changes in household consistency, practice, environment, health, or owner handling can affect reliability over time. Monarch addresses maintenance during the handoff process and provides program-specific follow-up options
